I'm actually looking forward to these sets. I have seen pics of the rest of the sets on another site and the figures that appeared on Ebay. Although some of the sets look strange the figures are great.Of the figures the Lion characters look the most cartoony. The Wolves look cool especially the one with the scars across his eye. The crocodile faction has some good castle Lizardmen possibilities. The eagles could be good for customising and the ravens look awesome.The Raven and Eagle characters wear a helmet with the beak over the top of a traditional Lego head. From the blurry pics it seems that all of the characters are wearing armour or loin cloths, theres no high tech or robot printing which means it should be pretty easy to convert them into castle figs. The new wing pieces look great, I can picture winged knights

Do you have any links you could share?

EDIT:

I did a Google image search and found this overview. I think some of the Raven parts might be cool to mix in with Black Falcons to make some sort of elite berserker units

Also, the new wing pieces are awesome and I can't wait to get some in both white and black. The more I learn about this line, the more excited I am for castle possibilities, even if I only end up buying certian things off of BL.

Here is a link to a couple of the figures that have turned up on eBay. The auction has ended but you can see the great details on the minifigs. [even though he missed a couple of parts that hold the wings in the proper position]

It looks to me like all of the "animal heads" are actually "helmets" that fit over a standard minifig head, meaning that we are going to get some really interesting heads from this line, in addition to the "animal helmets"

Umm......armor looks cool? Aside from a couple interesting minifigures, I'm pretty disappointed with this. They could've done a really cool line up with the same concept but, no, they went down the Ninjago path.

These sets have just all hit the UK and I must admit I am very impressed with them along with the monster fighters series. There are no many unique characters that can be used in a castle theme and would add a lot. When I get some money I must buy some ASAP

The Wolves, Lions, Ravens, Crocs and Eagles... Just look at their rather Ancient/Medieval looking outfits! Take them and perhaps some Ninjago "army-ables" along with LOTR/Hobbit can make some interesting Fantasy Castle Factions...
